Thanks a lot guys. Now I won't sleep peacefully for a week. I had effectively blocked “Paloma Blanca” from my memory banks until today. Thanks a lot guys. Now I won't sleep peacefully for a week.

I mean, how could you not? In a day and age when the learning challenged are still mocked and ridiculed, Miley is right there, a shining example for big foreheaded kids everywhere. She's the 21 Century Corky.<br><br>Wait... What? She's not...? Oh... dear... No, I totally support your Hannah Montana backing. I mean, how could you not?

Whatever. There's lots worse music out there for a 10-year-old to like, and I have no problems whatsoever with exposing a kid to the political sentiments expressed on the album. To do a little SAT-level comparison, Green Day is to 10-year-old boys as _________ is to 6-year-old girls. (If you chose C., Hannah Montana, you score an 800 verbal.) What does it say about me that I have managed to find both Green Day and Hannah tolerable?<br><br>If you haven't managed to discover the mash-up versions of the American Idiot songs that have been floating around the Net for the last couple years under the monicker Dean Gray, they're worthwhile. They manage to ridicule and exult the band simultaneously, by exposing how Billy Joe has aped (and in many cases just ripped off) his musical influences.

I never dug his 70's stuff but I recognized he had talent. He went off the deep end in the 80's starting with the one track second side of the Circle Of Love album - "Macho City". "Bongo Bongo is one of the stupidest songs of the 80's and I want to make the World Turn Around is only slightly less dookie scented.

I swear, I never attended dorm parties in the mid-'80s--much less DJ'd them, or gave in to the geeks who would only dance to that goddam "What I Like About You," which I can no longer listen to without hearing a bunch of nerds yelling "EEEEEEEE!" and seeing them pogo their dorky selves onto the dancefloor.<br><br>sorry...

Whoops, I've said too much.

sorry…
